This research is focused on knowing and applying one of the functions of language originally proposed by Roman Jakobson, but then it is taken up by the German translation scholar Christiane Nord in her famous Cuatrifuncional Model (Expressive, Phatic, Referential and Appellative functions) and the Spanish Francesc Fernandez (2004). Our purpose in this research work is to delve into one of the functions of this model (Appellative function) but also identifying subfunctions selecting a particular action: Phatic Persuasive in a parallel corpus English – Spanish in the Book of Proverbs. The main aim of this study is to describe the variation of the aspects of persuasive phatic action in the base text and target text according to their purpose. Throughout this process of data collection for this research, we make a descriptive analysis of this function. Its language is appropriate and simple so there is understanding by every reader who is interested in the aspect of textual analysis and as such studies has been immersed in Translation Studies.
